An educational programme featuring early music. Italian dance music of the sixteenth century.
You can hear slow and fast dances such as pavanes and saltarellos, composed dances by Dalza and Kircher, and dances anonymously passed down.
Alternating between instrumental and vocal dances; dances with place-names such as the Tarantella Napoletana or the Bergamasca, and dances without place-names.
Kortom, een verrassende vrolijke mengeling.
